  1. Thank you! The head.. I'm not really so fond of the new design, and I don't think it'll be easy to change, so I guess I'll leave the standard one.
  2. Hello all, Using Yamato's VF-1J kit I decided to make this: My idea was to make a VF-1J as if it were released by Yamato, meaning: no panel lining, not many decals. Here's what I came up with: After seeing Jefuemon's excellent 1/72 kit, I noticed many mistakes in the width I selected for some lines. Also, as you can see by the irregularities in the lines, my masking skills are not so good. I like to think it looks like a resin prototype Following the manual of the VF-1J kit, you're supposed to end up with the VF in fighter mode but I decided to leave it in battroid mode. I haven't transformed it yet... I'm really concerned about paint scratches. But I will transform it eventually and I'll post pics here.
  3. The one I used for the 1/60 kit is this one: Macross The First vol. 3 has this image but there was also a bigger one in a volume of Macross Ace. In The First vol. 3 there's also a shot of the Wave kit. The manga is also the best reference to see how it looks from other sides. Hope this helps!
  4. Great work Jefuemon! and the pilot also looks amazing! For the last 2 months I've been building this kit: After seeing your photos I realized I screwed up in many parts I hope it ends up looking as good as yours! Hopefully, soon!
  5. It appears to me that this was a rushed job. I think the new audio track exemplifies it... IMO there are some unnecessary (but not bad) new audio effects in the beginning of the movie that scream "NEW AUDIO MIX" but there's a point in the movie when the audio remaster is not so spectacular anymore. For example: in the beginning of the movie when the VF-1s are taking off, the surround sound is all over the place. In the final battle, there are many scenes of the SDF-1 that could have used the 7.1 mix but all the effects are focused in the front speakers. Video-quality wise, I agree that although some scenes look incredible, the HD remaster on DVD is less distracting since the contrast of blurry/clear scenes is not that obvious.
  6. btw, could you also post pics when you get to transforming it back to fighter?
  7. WOW, looks great!! Which paint did you use?
  8. Reply from amiami: We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We believe our credit processing system is having trouble processing credit payments by Visa and MasterCard that are over 10000 JPY. We are of course working with our credit processing company to resolve this issue as soon as possible, but at this time we are unsure when it may be fixed. In the meantime, you can either submit your payment by PayPal, or we can split your order into amounts less than 10000 JPY so that you can submit your payment directly by credit card. For orders of single items that total over 10000 JPY, other measures would need to be taken that are a bit more complicated (and it would be easiest if you could please pay for those kinds of orders by PayPal). Please contact us if you require assistance submitting payment for your orders.
  9. Just got the payment request from amiami but, again, they have problems accepting payments by Credit Card Had to send the payment by PayPal edit: sp

  20. Well... I got it. In case anyone's interested, the way to get this "event image" is by playing without dating anyone, and choosing the SMS route. Quite simple actually. I'm missing now the other ones... Ozma & Cathy, and Brera & Grace
